Roberto Soldic explains how he recovered against Kalinn
\nWilliams at UFC 332<\/h2>\n

Soldic entered the matchup with a reputation for devastating
\nknockout power but has no regrets about the fight going to the
\nscorecards against the experienced Williams, whom he credited for
\nhis durability after the win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t rush. I just took my win,\u201d Soldic said at the UFC 332
\npost-fight press conference. \u201cI don’t want to prove I have to kill
\nsomebody. I have to win and just show my skills and that’s it. He’s
\nan experienced fighter. He was like 16-5, so 21 fights with amateur
\nof 33 fights. He had 11 fights on the big stage, so 7-4. You can
\nfight with one or two guys who fought in the UFC, but the guy had
\n11 fights in the UFC. That’s something different. He’s seen the
\ncrowds, the cage, the people. For me, it was all new. I came here
\nas a guest. It was a good fight, tough opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRobocop\u201d had not fought since February 2025, when he made his
\nfinal appearance in One
\nChampionship<\/a>. The Croatian is content with his performance
\nafter the extended layoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe took all my punches,\u201d Soldic added. \u201cI showed that I can also
\nwrestle, and he took a lot of punches, also crazy high kick, ground
\nand pound, left hooks and right hook. It was a good experience. I
\nhadn’t fought for one and a half years. Three rounds. This fight
\nmeans a lot for me because I see I have the condition for five
\nrounds, and I see I don’t get tired; I was always going
\nforward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soldic enters a deep welterweight division and owns a knockout
\nvictory over former UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du
\nPlessis<\/a>.<\/p>\n
